    Hi,

    I have simulated the paths of particles within a 3D space, which I would like to visualise with Unity. Is there an existing framework for importing and animating this kind of particle track?

    The data are composed of around 10,000 time series data sets, each containing around 1000, 3d cartesian time steps, that I could export from python into most file formats (presumably!).

    Any advice much appreciated.

    Simon

    That's really useful, thanks. I've googled a bit around the particle system in unity, and it doesn't seem clear if it's possible to constrain particles to predefined paths (imported from elsewhere). Am I missing something obvious?
